Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Vidya
The education one receives majorly shapes their lives. The increase in number of
students being admitted in schools may seem like a relief on one hand, but the struggle does not end here. SDG 4 talks not about education, but Quality Education, and this is the cause Project Vidya focuses on. Project Vidya works towards
providing quality education to such EWS students because educating them leads to a cycle of change. Most of them are often first generation learners and if they receive a good education, they could break this chain of illiteracy amongst their family and
beyond.
Thus, Project Vidya provides free, after school classes for underprivileged students.
These classes are conducted for primary level students associated with an NGO, and
help them refine their basic English skills.
